There are many reasons to spay and neuter your pets and very few reasons not to.
Animal control centers put thousands of healthy, loving animals to death every day because the pet population is so great.
There are many health benefits, particularly decreased or eliminated risks of certain cancers and common infections.
Neutered pets don't have to overwhelming urge to roam in search of a mate. Intact dogs will do just about anything to get to a female dog in heat. They can smell her up to 7 miles away. They will dig under fences, hop over fences, knock people down to get past them, and run in front of cars or get lost in the process.
Spayed and neutered cats don't spray, or their spraying is greatly decreased and much less smelly.
Intact female cats cry loudly when they are in heat (and rub up against things) because they are cramping severely. Basically only sex can cure that cramping. They will also slip outside if at all possible or males will try to slip in so they can mate. Their crying is almost constant (because they are in pain) and it attracts neighboring male cats which spray smelly urine on plants, fences, walls, etc. Your home will stink and the yowling can become unbearable.
Neutered males are much less aggressive, especially toward other males of their species. They are still perfectly loyal and capable of hunting and fighting; it's just that their desire to win a mate isn't driving them. They can focus on other things.
Female dogs are at high risk of contracting uterine infections as they get older. It is called pyometra, and these infections can be life-threatening. This is eliminated by spaying, as is uterine cancer and ovarian cancer. Breast cancer is almost completely avoided if a pet (cat/dog) is spayed before it's first heat. Males also are at reduced risk for Breast cancer when they are neutered. Breast and other cancers are fed by hormones which are eliminated when the animals are spayed and neutered. Even if they have breast cancer, the chances of survival are increased because the hormones that cause the cancer to spread are eliminated.
Neutered males suffer fewer prostrate problems than intact males. Testosterone makes the prostrate grow as males age, and neutering removes the testicles which produce testosterone, so the prostrate stops growing. Enlarged prostrates can obstruct the urinary tract, causing infections which can become life-threatening or preventing the bladder from passing urine.
Most dog bites, stray dogs, and dogs that cause traffic accidents are intact male dogs searching for a mate.
There are SO many websites dedicated to addressing this very issue because it is so important for so many reasons! There are only two legitimate reasons to consider not spaying/neutering an animal. The first is if the animal has a health issue that would greatly increase the risk of surgery. The other, which is controversial, is that the animal is such an ideal specimin in perfect health that breeding it would improve the breed. Still, shelters and rescues are full of purebred dogs because the number is greater than the desire.

When Jackie's hot dogs stand sells 500 hot dogs it has totally fixed costs of 200 and total variable cost of 400 what are Jackie's hot dogs stand's fixed costs when they sell 1000 hot dogs?
Fixed costs are called fixed for a reason, no matter how many hot dogs Jackie sells, she will still have the $200 of fixed costs. An example of a fixed cost that she can have is a permit for selling food from a stand. If the permit cost $200 she will always have to pay that $200, even if she sold absolutely no hot dogs. Variable costs tend to fluctuate depending on the amount of products she produces. As for your question, if you haven't thought of an answer this far, Jackie's fixed costs are $200.
